VITOUSEK: Okay, returning to item 3, Planning Department Presentation, a presentation of long-range land use infrastructure planning goals for lands under jurisdiction of the Leeward Planning Commission based on the Kona Community Development Plan, the South Kohala Community Development Plan, the North Kohala Community [Development] Plan and the Hawaii County General Plan. Staff presentation will be by April Surprenant, Planning Program Manager, Long Range Division of the Hawaii County Planning Department. Thank you so much for taking the time to help educate us. SURPRENANT: Aloha. Thank you. I'm going to share screen—make sure I share the correct one. Okay, you all should be seeing a full screen of the title slide. VITOUSEK: Yep. SURPRENANT: Okay, great. So, yes, we are going to go over land use and infrastructure priorities from a policy level as it relates to the Community Development Plans and the General Plan. One part of the great news of this is that our CDPs and our General Plan are very much in alignment. So in this presentation I don't really separate that out; I kind of combine the policies together, so please keep that in mind. Also, this is really intended to be an overview and a beginning of this conversation, so we'll talk about it towards the end of the presentation of additional information that you all may want to see or potentially departments that you may want to talk directly with to get more information on that. 1 EXHIBIT B
